It’s Summer – Day 42

Posted on August 22, 2020 by denhamkite • Leave a comment

The last week day of the summer holidays is over so back to school after the weekend. All prepared and the minor bits to do will be done before children return on Thursday. It’s quite something when you look back and reflect on the fact that we are five months on from the initial lockdown. … Continue reading →

It’s Summer – Day 40 and 41

Another two days of the summer holiday gone and just three left now. Yesterday I spent the day in school; face to face meetings, remote meetings; and sorting. Also watch a few episodes of Wolf Blood – I recommend it. I have a small budget to use for school improvements and the first meeting of … Continue reading →

It’s Summer – Day 38 & 39

The last two days have been gently easing back into work after a great few weeks recovering from the relentless drive thorough lockdown. Catching up with emails; checking dates for the diary; and generally touching base with various areas of school life to plan and be ready for the return. Whilst so many schools did … Continue reading →

It’s Summer – Day 37

Happy birthday first and foremost to my wife today. Awake at 08:30 so I can get the bikes to Halfords and back again for some grassroots football. How exciting are birthdays as you get older! Yes, a quick get up and sorted and present giving/opening before flying out of the door to get to Halfords. … Continue reading →

It’s Summer – Day 36

Last day at the campsite in Delamere so a morning run prior to packing up and departing. The campervan pack up versus the tent pack up is hugely less time consuming and much easier. All packed and an easy journey back home, followed by unpacking the van and giving it a bit of a clean. … Continue reading →

Final full day away in the van. Great to wake up in the campervan and make a latte. Chilled start to the day but no run this morning as we went for a walk to begin with. Prior to the walk however, Dan spent a fair bit of time in the forest with many of … Continue reading →

It’s Summer – Day 34

As day 34 comes to a close, nearly, I’m sitting outside listening to the daily geese flight over the campsite, heading west to… no idea! Anyone out there know? A hot day and one where we went walking; I cycled to the Chinese to pick up a takeaway; and now just reflecting on the fiasco … Continue reading →

The end of day 33 of the summer break and the rain has not stopped since about 18:00. The weather app promised thunder storms from 14:00, but lacking confidence in the forecasts we went out and enjoyed the sun. We woke a bit earlier this morning the catch the 10:00 train to Chester to see … Continue reading →
